3 don't know if it belongs to your mom yet, but that necklace definitely has a story behind it," Lucas smirks with

confidence. "The chain has srust on it. By the smell left in the case? I'd say..."

he is taunting me, "What-71*

"Blood," He blurts calmly, cutting my outburst out, and givinganother anxiety rush yet again.

"What?!" | shrill

"Shushhhh!" He hisses at me, pointing at the door and leadingaway from it and closer to the window. Right.

It's not something for other's ears.

"But.. blood? Why would there be blood on there? Do drug users spill blood when they are dying?" | can't sort out

a million questions in my mind, "And also, why would a junkie have such a nice necklace? And why would Jack

Lucas makes a quiet posture with his hand, finally shuttingup. He looks very bothered, rolling his eyes and

rubbing his hair, like a disappointed teacher. Finally, he takes a deep breath, speaking slowly and clearly as he

looks into my eyes: "Seriously, detective work? Not your thing.". Duh?!

"I know you were a scout back in the army, okay?! Just tell me!" | grab my hair in frustration. I'm not a detective

to begin with! Besides, my brain is completely shut down at the shocking fact that | JUST saw the belongings of

"How about," Lucas snaps his finger and catches my wondering mind, "Jack Fuller is lying through and through?

Your Mom wasn't a junkie, she might have died but certainly not of overdose, and from the quality of that

necklace? She was not poor. Anything but!" Of course he lied. | can't close my shocked jaw, but the facts begin

to string up in my mind-

| was with my mom when something lethal happened to her. Jack Fuller was there. He tookand the necklace

from my Mom, and lied about where | cfrom. It makes sense that he guards his study tighter than a prison -

he doesn't wantto look for my family because if Mom was not a poor, overdosed junkie, but someone rich-

then they would wantback and he would lose his blood vessel for his daughter!

But what happened to my Mom? Did Jack Fuller kill her? If he did, then why take the necklace home? If not, then

why was he so conveniently there to takeat the one moment when my Mom couldn't protect me? And most

importantly why didn't my family cto look forin all these years, if they were rich and all?

Do they...not wanteither?

"If we can get the necklace, then we can get the DNA from the blood and if that matches yours, then it's

definitely your Mom's belongings," Lucas's ramble gets stronger as my mind calms down from the big news. |

"I don't want to do that," I blurt and Lucas is shocked muted-

"I mean, | don't want to do it that way," | shake my head in haste, trying to sort out my messy mind, "I don't

"I mean, anyone would be better than the Fullers," Lucas huffs with despise, "What if Jack Fuller murdered your

Mom?"
